1924 Peak road

Taken from today's Mount Austin Road (formerly called Peak Road).  The smoke is from the upper terminus of the peak tram. The four coolies seem to carry a barrel or something like that.

Quality_Street: This is the Kellette Bay (奇力灣,formerly known as Kei Long Wan 雞籠環) in Aberdeen Hong Kong.
The cape at the left hand side of the photo is the Lamma Island. The small mountain with a pavilion at its top is where the present Wah Fu Estate 華富邨 located. Before the Wah Fu Estate was built, it was a public graveyard for those who lost their life and bodies not claimed during the previous typhoon disasters.

Man Mo Temple

Man Mo Temple on Hollywood Road. Possibly in the 1960's (guessed from the car). In the back is a Volkswagen Beetle, so its definitely after 1945.

Junction Peak Rd + Barker Rd, 1975

On Flickr the junction of Barker Rd with Stubbs Rd is given, but it's Peak Rd (and when this house was built it was Cragmin Rd).

And note the traffic pagoda on the left. Must have been an important intersection.
